Students planning to apply to college and teachers who want to help them do

Gradschools.com

"The most comprehensive online source of graduate school information."
Click on the Search function, select a program category, and see a list of not
only U.S. programs, but international programs, too. One major drawback is that
after you find the program that interests you, the site offers only an email
optionnot a direct link.

and service. Good site if you are in admissions counseling, student services,
advising, or if you're trying to find some good information on graduate
school testing for yourself. You can shop for and order test preparation books
and software from this site.
